Wiper blades Bosch or Trico
i have a set of bosch icons that have been on one of my trucks for 5 years and they still work fine thru icy winters and hot summers. theyre worth the price
Bosch icon and replace them every couple of years. Fresh blades work great.
Bosch are the only good ones IMO
I’ve used the Bosch Icon on a few cars and really like them but they are ridiculously priced.
I live in NorCal. A few years an O'Reilly's employee suggested saving my Bosch for the wintertime and use my Rain-X or Michelin wiper blades in the summer as the UV rays are the biggest single factor in their deterioration. Now using my first pair of Bosch into it's third NorCal winter and still holding up great!
The icons just keep going and don't harden or get shredded as much, i clean them with a solvent (WD40) every few months and they are back to good as new.
Just to update on this for folks still looking Bosch Icon 26OE and 17OE work perfectly, no streaks and comparable or better than OEM.
Been satisfied with regular Trico replacements
Bosch blades seem to work OK for me, there are things I was doing wrong before, causing premature wear (e.g., “dry wipes” to get rid of bugs or debris, being a lazy sod and using wipers to speed up defrosting the windscreen).
I just bought the Bosch icons for my elantra. I bought the right side a few months ago as that one needed to be replaced badly. And I knew the left one would need replacing very soon so I got one tonight. The right one went on no problem however the left one's cover won't stay locked down when I place the wiper on the windshield. It kept popping out of place. I could tell there was an issue as it didn't swivel very well like the right side does. When I took it off I could see a little plastic piece kept bending out of place.
